intelligence-ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situationsintelligence tests-assess people's mental abilities and compares them with others, using numerical scores

general intelligence-a general factor, according to spearman and others, underlies all specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence teststrengths-true that some abilities such as verbal and spatial reasoning have a tendency to correlatecriticisms-human abilities are much too diverse to be encapsulated by a single general intelligence factor, g-factor not significantly correlated with successSpearman

Thurstone and Primary intelligence-verbal comprehension, fluency, number facility, spacial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, reasoning7 clusters of primary abilities, finds most people socre higher in some related clusters than in other clustersstrengths-seven scores of intelligence are more informative than one single scorecriticisms-these clusters have a tendency to do just that, and thus actually most people argued gave more proof to a single-underlying (g) intelligence factor

Gardner's eight intelligences-view of intelligence that it can be divided up and measured into eight distinct abilitiessavant syndrome-condition in which a person has one exceptional skillstrengths-this system values many different human abilitiescriticisms-should abilities be considered intelligence or talents? No biological evidence of these existing separately in brain

Sternberg's three intelligences- Analytical-ability to solve problems that have a correct answer (inductive and deductive reasoning)Creative-ability to react and adapt to new and different situations and generate novel ideas (divergent thinking)Practical Intelligence-ability to succeed in everyday tasks (emotional intelligence)strengths-3 facets can be reliably measuredcriticisms-there is still research needed to discover whether or not the tests that determine these types of intelligence actually predict success

factors impacting creative intelligence-functional fixedness-cognitive bias that limits a person to using an object/process only in the way it is traditionally usedfixed vs growth mindset- fixed mindset people believe their basic qualities are fixed traits, while growth mindset individuals believe in improvement and success

Emotional intelligence-or social intelligence is seen as the ability to perceive, understand, manage and use emotionsEQ score-given in each category as well as an overall score for emotional intelligence

Perceiving-identifying emotions in oneself and in other people, express emotions accurately, tell difference between honest and dishonest expressions of emotions

Stanford-Binet-lewis terman developed his own version of the binet IQ test during his tenure at stanfordthe stanford-binet test is widely used as a test of IQ, it delivers an IQ score (intelligence quotient) which is still based on ones mental age/physical age x 100

constructing intelligence tests-standardization, norms, flynn effect

reliability-does the test generate similar scores every time validity-does the test generate scores that are accurate to what its trying to measure.content validity-the extent to which a test samples the behavior that it claims to testpredictive validity-the success with which a test predicts the hevaior it is desigened to test

culture and ethinicity-racial groups differ in intelligence scores, white US bell curve is at 100 black us bell curve is at 85, ethinic differences have been discovered as well

culture relevant tests vs vulture fair tests (non verbal reasoning)

genetics-down syndrome:extra chromosome leads to mild to severe intellectual disabilities and associtated physical disorders, heritability:the extent to which intelligence scores and their variation in a population can be contributed to genetics
